Dear Manpreet,
Employee Raiding is the recruitment of a key employee of a competitor to obtain trade secrets, in the absence of any enforceable contractual non-compete restrictions binding upon those employees.
Headhunting refers to the approach of finding and attracting the best-experienced person with the required skill set. Headhunting involves convincing the person to join your organization.
Poaching means employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed company in the same or different industry; the organization might be a competitor in the industry. A company can attract talent from another firm by offering attractive pay packages and other terms and conditions better than the current employer of the candidate. However, it is seen as an unethical practice and not openly talked about. The Indian software and retail sectors are facing the most severe impact of poaching today. It has become a challenge for human resource managers to face and tackle poaching as it weakens the competitive strength of the firm.
All three terms refer to the same concept of taking an employee from a competitor. However, Raiding/poaching is considered an unethical practice.
Headhunting is done directly/indirectly through references, portals, direct/cold calling to candidates of competitors/organizations with the same skill set.
Poaching is done by targeting the right talent from competitors directly by meeting them in person and convincing them. Due to this, many companies have entered into poaching agreements with competitors.
Raiding is mainly conducted in MNCs and abroad. It is a new term in the Indian industry that has started to emerge in recent recruitment trends.
